APIONEER of supercriti-
cal extraction has been
awarded the New
Zealand Institute of Chemistry
Fonterra Prize for Industrial and
Applied Chemistry.
Dr Owen Catchpole said he
was honoured to receive the
award, which was in recogni-
tion of the work the supercriti-
cal extraction team had put into
creating new technologies and
products of benefit to the New
Zealand industry: particularly
Fonterra and Nutrizeal.
"It also recognises the invest-
ment made by both the
Foundation for Research
Science and Technology
(FRST) and Industrial Research
Limited (IRL) into supporting
this area of research and devel-
opment, which we hope will lead to even
greater impact in the future," he said.
Supercritical extraction uses high pres-
sure carbon dioxide to produce high value
extracts from a wide range of biological
materials.
Dr Catchpole is the programme leader for
IRL's $2million per annum funded research
programme. The process that can be used
with low-value biomass such as fish waste
to produce high-value extracts rich in
Omega-3 fatty acids.
Dr Catchpole has worked with some of
New Zealand's most inno-
vative companies including
Fonterra, Nutrizeal,
SCENNZ/Trilogy, Living
Nature and Mende-Biotech
and assisted them to add
value to natural biomass
through the application of
supercritical extraction
technology.
He has invented 13
patented or patent-pending
supercritical extraction
processes, which have led
to commercial success for
the companies that have
licensed them.
Dr Catchpole is interna-
tionally recognised as an
expert in supercritical
extraction technology,
including the extraction of
lipids -- substances which are part of a large
and diverse group of naturally occurring
organic compounds that are now the new
frontier of bioactive compounds for human
and animal health care.

THE dairy industry is
increasing its drive for bet-
ter environmental perform-
ance in Canterbury.
The Canterbury dairy shed
effluent report for the 2008/09
season showed willingness from
farm businesses to better man-
age dairy effluent even with the
growth in consent conditions.
DairyNZ, Fonterra, Synlait,
NZ Dairies and Federated
Farmers agreed that adopting
best management practice and
improved effluent compliance
remained the goal in Canterbury
and was evident by actions taken
to address non-compliance.
In the past season a total of
8851 conditions were moni-
tored, an increase of 2408 condi-
tions from the previous reporting
period where a total of 6443
conditions were monitored.
DairyNZ chief executive Dr
Tim Mackle said while overall
rates of compliance had largely
remained static, the increase in
the number of conditions
showed the
operating
environment was more complex.
"The report showed the
majority of these businesses are
very aware of the regulatory
environment they operate in and
they are working on improving
their environmental performance
year-on-year to comply with
best practice."
The industry had also grown
by 22 per cent since 2007/8 with
an increase of 148 consents for
dairy farm businesses.
Dr John Penno, managing
director and chief executive of
Synlait said: "The dairy industry
is the only industry in
Canterbury that puts these fig-
ures forward with Environment
Canterbury for an annual and
public report. It is a proactive
and open approach to monitor-
ing this area of our businesses
and sharing our progress with
the people of Canterbury."
Major ponding from over
application of dairy effluent on
pasture is the most significant
issue in terms of environmental
effects measures in the report.
